This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 62.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.4 --------------- firefox (62.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.4) bionic-security; urgency=medium
* Fix LP: #1791789: Mark distribution search engines as read-only, so that they are marked as hidden in rather than removed from the search engine cache when a user "removes" them (they can't actually be removed from disk). This stops them from reappearing on cache rebuilds - add debian/patches/mark-distribution-search-engines-as-read-only.patch - update debian/patches/series * Backport upstream change to the search service to not handle locale changes on shutdown. As well as resulting in en-US search engines being added to the search engine cache for all locales, it was resulting in a cache rebuild on every restart, making the above bug worse (fixes another part of LP: #1791789) - add debian/patches/search-service-dont-handle-locale-changes-on-shutdown.patch - update debian/patches/series * Ensure that region-specific search defaults are disabled everywhere again - update debian/distribution.ini - remove debian/patches/disable-geo-specific-search-defaults-for-us.patch - update debian/patches/series * Fix the Ubuntu search engine defaults now that the "browser.search.order." and "browser.search.defaultengine" prefs have been removed from the default build - update debian/distribution.ini - remove debian/patches/ubuntu-search-defaults.patch - update debian/patches/series * Set "intl.locale.requested" in vendor-gre.js rather than in distribution.ini. The former is loaded by the pref service much earlier, and this pref needs to be initialized before distribution.ini prefs are applied in order for locale-specific prefs to work - update debian/distribution.ini - update debian/vendor-gre.js * Rename debian/patches/revert-upstream-search-engine-changes.patch to debian/patches/no-region-overrides-for-google-search.patch to better reflect what the patch is for (described in the patch header) * Drop debian/patches/normalize-distribution-searchplugins.patch - this is no longer needed and hasn't been for a long time. It was added to fix loss of metadata on upgrade for distribution search engines when the Firefox install location was versioned * Set "spellchecker.dictionary_path" by default to point to /usr/share/hunspell so that system dictionaries are loaded again, now that Firefox no longer loads them from its own install directory. Fixes another part of LP: #1791789 - update debian/firefox.links.in - update debian/vendor-gre.js -- Chris Coulson <chris.coul...@canonical.com> Wed, 12 Sep 2018 01:36:32 +0100 ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791789 Title: FF62 upgrade : search engines override, french dictionnary and language pack lost.
